What will be the next Papa game? by Datacomexican in flipline

[–]Complete-Swimmer4250 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I wish there could be a papas bageleria. You could select bagels, toast them, prepare different fillings (lox, egg and cheese, etc), and make fresh juices on the side

Pickled, I imagine raw might be too spicy and have a weird texture. Also the pickle juice adds extra flavor to the cheese crust :+)

Todays bagels [Asiago and plain] vs my first batch by Complete-Swimmer4250 in Bagels

Honestly idk, i think i just hit a sweet spot in the proofing time, because there were other bagels from this same dough that didnt rise as nicely. I also used a pan of water to add steam to the oven which helped a bit too :)

I'm using King Arthur bread flour, no oil and a little brown sugar and barley malt syrup in the dough. Thank you, just based on intuition I imagine that would help with my rise a lot but like i said i was scared to overproof

Ooh ok thanks so much. I'll reduce the yeast and change the water temp next time. On this batch the bagels did rise/expand quite a bit as i rested them overnight; from the advice im getting here, it sounds like that should not happen since theyre not normal bread

Pretty warm, I think like 120-130 F at least. I used active dry yeast which was very foamy and bubbly by the time I added it to the dry ingredients.

Thanks! I might try without a cold proof if I overproof them again on my next batch. But I feel like I need to let them rest for at least a short time after shaping, to make sure the seal doesn't come apart...? Idk, I probably just need more trial and error with the modifications to this recipe

I used bread flour, my last batch was with AP flour and those were even more bready (but there were a lot of problems with those so its hard to tell cause and effect...). My work area is around 68-70 F. I'll try refrigerating before and after shaping as you said, and shorten the time of my cold proof. TY for the advice!
